R. J. Raitt 1956 Journal Jarbridge area, Elko Co., Nevada June 5 canyon wall we came out on a very flat area stretching a great distance down to the north cut by deep canyons such as that of the Jarbridge, but showing very little relief otherwise. The road passes for several (4 or 5) miles of nothing but sagebrush stands, with a great deal of grass and herbs — [illegible] several blooming including Lupins — between the sage shrubs. In this area we saw many Meadowlarks + Horned Larks and a Swainson Hawk, perched on a corral fence, a Marsh Hawk, many Belding Ground Squirrels and one White- tailed Jack Rabbit. Just before the road reached Cow Creek we began to pass through or near to clumps of aspen and firs. Cow Creek itself runs through a narrow, lush meadow containing scattered clumps of [illegible] willows and lined by thick stands of aspens and/or firs. I hunted downstream through thick aspens and firs and through a small aspen-like semi-meadow perched on the east edge of the valley. I saw orange-crowned Warblers in the aspens and took one. Juncos were in the aspens and in the small meadow and I took two of them. At the edge of the meadow I shot a Mountain Bluebird and saw a Green-tailed Towhee singing. In the firs I heard and saw Ruby-crowned Kinglets, Pine Siskins and Cassin Purple Finches and Black-headed
